Footed Bowl
(18th and 19th Centuries )
The bowl is decorated in extremely fine filigree enamel over a raised, stippled gilded ground. The patterns are composed of rosettes alternating with two abstract vegetative designs. A band of flowers in plique-à-jour enamel borders the rim of the bowl. On the bottom of the bowl there is a scale pattern interrupted by pointed leaves.
